Yes, it is only for those who have activated the Steam version (When the game comes out on Steam, I just have to contact Steam to tell them to give the new game to every iVIBRATE user for free!). If you want to contact me, support@kinkmasterstudios.com, I can send you your Steam key again.
Found this on HP's website that may help, https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-System-and-Recovery/Code-shutdo..., but otherwise, it just uses a standard (C#/Unity) method to close the app, so unfortunately this isn't something I can really help with. The game does work on Windows 10, but it does sound like it may be some weird incompatibility with your laptop though. The only thing I can think of, is to try using Alt + F4 to quit, or try using task manager to close the game instead and hopefully that may stop the crashing.

Thank you so much!! I’ll contact you later about the code. I appreciate it. That and the helpful tip. When I had my laptop worked on for something failing years back, the tech support installed Panda Dome which is probably Panda Security cited in the HP forums 😓 I never uninstalled that since the program is benign but now I have a good reason too. It functioned fine a few months ago but I’m not one to question when my laptop is a fickle being.
